Question

[1] Imagine a magical forest where the trees touch the sky. Due to enough rainfall, the trees grow huge and spread wide. Their tallest branches are so thick-leafed that they create a thick curtain. Even the wind does not find enough space to blow as it pleases. The climate is good for life forms of all kinds- from trees to animals, birds and insects.
[2] These forests are called tropical rainforests. Most of them are located near the equator, in Asia, Africa and South America. The rainforest of the Amazon basin in South America is one of the lushest(茂盛的) rainforests in the world. You will find more varieties of trees or animal life here than anywhere else in the world.
[3] The tropical rainforests are called the green lungs of the planet. They absorb carbon dioxide from around them to process their food and release oxygen into the air. They also contain the largest number of trees with medicinal value.
[4] But now human beings are out to        . Many companies all over the world, especially in the West, have been attacking these rainforests for a variety of reasons – some want to make profit by cutting down trees and selling timber(木材); others are trying to be the only ones to make profit out of medicinal plants.
[5] To the outside world, the rainforest has always seemed a very dangerous place. Generations of films and literature have shown the people who live in the rainforests as dangerous and violent people who have a strange way of life.
[6] But actually, these people have a better understanding of their relationship with their environment than modern man has. Greed for profit by destroying the planet’s resources is a unique quality of societies that have become modern and use technology. One should then ask, who is more violent?

小題5:The wind.

試題解析：文章敘述了熱帶雨林，熱帶雨林所處的地理位置，天然氧吧，以及人類對雨林的破壞，使人們意識到要保護雨林，減少對環(huán)境的破壞。
小題1:開篇點題，根據(jù)文章開頭第一段第一句話Imagine a magical forest where the trees touch the sky想象一片森林，在森林里樹可以觸到天空和第二段第一句話These forests are called tropical rainforests這些森林被稱謂熱帶雨林第三四五六段都是對森林的介紹，所以最好的題目是The magical tropical rainforest。
小題2:根據(jù)第二段最后一句話You will find more varieties of trees or animal life here than anywhere else in the world.你將發(fā)現(xiàn)比世界上其他任何地方更多的各種各樣的樹木和野生動物，所以得出答案will/can you find.
小題3:根據(jù)第四段空后Many companies all over the world, especially in the West, have been attacking these rainforests for a variety of reasons – some want to make profit by cutting down trees and selling timber(木材); others are trying to be the only ones to make profit out of medicinal plants.
世界上有許多公司，尤其在西方一直攻擊這些雨林，有的是從砍伐和銷售木材獲利，有的是從藥用植物中獲利，所以對人類破壞雨林，所以答案是harm/ destroy the rainforests。
小題4:根據(jù)第三段第二句話They absorb carbon dioxide from around them to process their food and release oxygen into the air.得出答案：They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air
小題5:根據(jù)全句Even the wind does not find enough space to blow as it pleases.甚至風找不到足夠的空間隨意的吹，as 按照（它的意愿），所以答案是the wind .
